Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 1453 Shocked
Hiso Nishio's life at this time was not easy.Although Xue Yue in Changsha followed Lao Jiang's instructions and stopped military operations, the pressure on Wuchang was greatly reduced.However, Li Zongren and Yang Sen frequently launched counterattacks from Yichang and Jingzhou. At present, they have captured Qianjiang and Tianmen and are attacking Xiantao.To the outside world, Li Zongren and Yang Sen agreed that it was the guerrilla column under his command that attacked the Japanese army, not the regular army.But the more so, the more indignant Nishio Shouzo felt.In his answer to the reporter accompanying the army: Have you ever seen guerrilla troops using Weiqing-style assault rifles, tanks and heavy artillery?
Even Chu Tiange's guerrilla troops did not have tanks and heavy artillery to help them fight.Yang Sen was willing to give all the heavy weapons and equipment that Ouyang Yun had donated to him to the First and Second Guerrilla Columns of the Sichuan Army under his command.In this way, well, even the 5th Division of the Japanese Army is also a well-known force in the country, and it actually failed to take advantage of it in the battle.Jiangbei was fighting fiercely. The first and second guerrilla columns of the Sichuan Army often ignored Shangfeng's orders and went out without permission. Before the attack, the main force followed up quietly, quickly restored the order of the recovered town, and overhauled civil engineering and construction of fortifications.After this kind of story happened several times in a row, not to mention Nishio Shouzao, even Xue Yue could see that Li Zongren and Yang Sen were deliberately ignoring Lao Jiang's strict orders and trying to cheer for Ouyang Yun in different ways.

When the Vice Chairman, General Feng Yuxiang, issued a telegram requesting the troops under the jurisdiction of all factions across the country to seize the opportunity of the Japanese army’s main force hoarding South China to launch a counterattack, and suggested that the troops from the former Northwest Army form a new command group of the Northwest Army, Xue Yue finally couldn’t sit still. up.He quietly called Chen Cheng, pointing out "what a great opportunity this is", and analyzing the current battle situation to Chen Cheng, pointing out that the several armed forces that are aggressively counterattacking are all involved with the student army. If Min Yueqiong said, then he could form an armed group with these armed forces that could compete with the Central Army... Under his alarmist words, Chen Cheng finally lost his composure, so he called Lao Jiang, requesting an immediate counterattack.

It's not that Lao Jiang never thought of seizing the opportunity to counterattack, but because of the ideology of "to fight against the outside world, we must first settle the inside", he thought that the best time to counterattack was when the student army and the Japanese army were both injured.Therefore, when the Japanese extended an olive branch to him and expressed their willingness to help him destroy the local armed forces of the Xuebing Army, he would cooperate tacitly and let the major theaters stop military operations so as to recharge their batteries and wait for the final battle. The best time to deal a fatal blow to the Japanese army.Veteran General Feng Yuxiang ascended the heights in Chongqing, triggering a new round of anti-Japanese petitions, just as Mao Zedong, Fu Zuoyi (Guo Da and Huang Haifu were the promoters), Li Zongren and Yang Sen achieved great success on multiple fronts. Big and small counterattacks won.He felt that Chen Cheng's worry was not unreasonable, but it seemed too cheap to enter the overall counterattack rashly, so after he issued the order for the whole army to counterattack, he sent a special telegram to Chen Cheng, asking He was personally responsible for the counter-offensive in Hunan and Jiangxi. He specifically mentioned that the Xuebing Army had become the biggest obstacle to the country's military and political unification. If possible, it could be properly incorporated, and he gave specific requirements: the more the better.

This is a big matter. After Chen Cheng arrived in Changsha, he immediately summoned Xue Yue to discuss the matter in detail, and asked him for his opinion: whether to push it over directly, or switch to the Guangdong-Jiangxi line, and then reduce the strength of the Xuebing Army and the Japanese army in the Nanchang area. Give it a pot of stew.

He didn't know that Xue Yue and Ouyang Yun had an alliance.Moreover, Xue Yue felt ashamed in his heart for not being able to help the student army this time due to Lao Jiang's strict order.Xue Yue was already trying to find a way to help Xue Bingjun to repair the relationship with Xue Bingjun, but how could he still be willing to help the evildoer in this matter?Startled by his words, Xue Yue turned his head and asked Chen Cheng: "Mr. Chen, is it impossible? After all, the Xuebing Army is an anti-Japanese army. The chairman is here. Doing so may cause public outcry. "

Chen Cheng actually didn't agree with Lao Jiang's decision, but as Lao Jiang's confidant, he had no other choice but to implement it if he couldn't persuade Lao Jiang to change his mind.With a sigh, he replied: "These things are not for you and me to worry about, we just need to implement them."

"Mr. Chen, there is no problem with execution, but we also need to have that ability!"

Chen Cheng was surprised, and asked, "How do you say that?"

Xue Yue sighed, and said: "Mr. Chen, you probably don't know. The Xuebing Army has already flown to Amon in Wu in the past. In the Battle of Nanchang, they only had nine divisions and one brigade, while the 11th Army had five The division has two independent brigades. Commander, do you know the battle damage ratio of the two sides so far?"

Of course Chen Cheng knew, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to think about it, so he asked, "What? Is there a problem?"

"It's a big problem!" Xue Yue said, and asked one of his staff to get a newspaper and hand it to Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng swept it hastily, stood up awkwardly, stared at him and asked, "Is everything written on it true?"

Xue Yue smiled bitterly: "Of course!"

Chen Cheng glanced at the numbers in the newspaper again, couldn't help taking a deep breath, and said: "The Xuebing Army only suffered more than 11 casualties, but the 15th Army suffered more than [-] casualties. The battle losses of one to ten, we Do not believe!"

Xue Yue: "I didn't believe it at first, so I sent a telegram to Ouyang Yun asking about this. You know, Ouyang Yun doesn't like gossip. Do you know how Ouyang Yun replied to me?"

"speak!"

"He said that the preparations were insufficient and the Air Force was not able to participate in the battle. Otherwise, the 11th Army's east and west armies should have been wiped out in one battle. Chief Chen, if you still don't believe me, you can ask them—" Xue Yue said , Whispered a few words to one of his adjutants.Soon, his adjutant brought in a few foreign reporters.It was those reporters from the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom. After these foreign reporters left Ouyang Yun's headquarters privately, they actually appeared here.

Xue Yue: "These foreign journalists have personally experienced those battles. You can verify it with them."

Chen Cheng's English is good. He asked several foreign reporters in English, and he couldn't help being stunned when he got an affirmative answer.Later, when he came back to his senses, he said to Xue Yue: "It's unbelievable. The Japanese said that the casualties on both sides were almost the same. I was surprised by it. I didn't expect—"

Xue Yue sent the foreign reporters away, and said to Chen Cheng: "Mr. Chen, the rise of the Xuebing Army is unstoppable. I think, even if it's just for the sake of our brothers, we should consider the relationship with the Xuebing Army." Yes. This time the Japanese concentrated 60 million infantry and three aircraft carrier fleets to attack the Xuebing army. They looked menacing and determined to win, but as you can see, the Japanese lost in the battle of Nanchang alone. There are so many troops. I don't think the Japanese can really defeat the Xuebing Army. Since the Xuebing Army will definitely win, why don't we help them along the way. If it is to fulfill the chairman's order, Mr. Chen, I have an idea— —”
